Osteopathic manipulation may alter lumbo-sacral spine movement in low back pain patients. Objective measurements showed changes in some patients, but patient and practitioner assessments varied.

Area of Science:

  • Osteopathic medicine
  • Biomechanical analysis
  • Spinal kinematics

Background:

  • Low back pain is a prevalent condition affecting many individuals.
  • Osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) is a common intervention for low back pain.
  • Understanding the objective effects of OMT on spinal configuration is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the immediate effects of a single osteopathic manipulation session on lumbo-sacral configuration in patients with low back pain.
  • To assess the feasibility of using objective measurement tools to evaluate treatment-induced changes.
  • To compare objective measurements with subjective patient and practitioner assessments.

Main Methods:

  • Ten out-patients with low back pain underwent one session of osteopathic manipulation.

  • Lumbo-sacral spinal configuration was measured using a Coda Scanner during six forward and six lateral flexions.
  • Measurements were taken twice before and immediately after the manipulation session.
  • Subjective assessments were recorded from the osteopath and the patients.

    • Main Results:

    • Significant treatment effects were observed in the secondary asymmetry angles of five out of ten patients.
    • All four patients identified by the osteopath as responders were included within the five patients showing objective changes.
    • Patient-reported improvements in movement did not consistently correlate with osteopath judgments or objective measurements.

    Conclusions:

    • Objective measurement of lumbo-sacral configuration changes following osteopathic manipulation is feasible.
    • There is a potential for osteopathic manipulation to induce measurable changes in spinal kinematics in low back pain patients.
    • Further collaborative studies are warranted to determine the efficacy and clinical significance of osteopathic manipulation for low back pain.
